Three more of these slaves were from Kaarta, and one from Wassela, all of them prisoners of war. They stopped four days at Kamalia, and were then taken to Bala, where they remained until the river Kokoro was fordable, and the grass burnt.
But Borrow's temperamental method where he undertakes to do more than sketch his environment in the blurred large method corresponding to ordinary passing impressions is the rhetorical sublime of this mountain lake between Festiniog and Bala: "I sped towards it through gorse and heather, occasionally leaping a deep drain. At last I reached it. It was a small lake.
We must form our plans quickly. We have perhaps three days' grace. After that, woe to all of us who are found here. Ah, I am tired, tired!" "Kit," whispered Bruce, "I intend this night to seek Bala Khan!" "John!" "Yes. What the deuce is Allaha to me? Ramabai must fight it out alone. But don't worry about me; I can take care of myself." "But I don't want you to go. I need you."
I sometimes fear that in you the banker is inclined to exchange confidences with the chemist or even with the son of Papa who cashes a check. Eh?" Ganz cleared his throat. "In that case," he rejoined, "all you have to do is to ask him, when you meet him again at Bala Bala. And the English bank will no doubt be happy to accept the transfer of your account."

"It is best he should go, Kit," her father declared. "We'll not tell Ramabai. He has been a man all the way through; but we mustn't sacrifice our chances for the sake of a bit of sentiment.

The Tomen Bala has puzzled many a head.
Between and about the niches the walls were decorated with plaster reliefs of flowers and arabesques. Matthews wondered if the black hats were capable of that! But what chiefly caught his eye was the terrace opening out of the room, and the stupendous view. The terrace hung over a green chasm where the two converging gorges met at the foot of the crag of Bala Bala.
"And have Bala Khan constitute himself the king of Allaha! No, Sahib; he is a good friend, but he is also a dangerous one. We must have patience." "Patience!" exploded Bruce. "I have waited several years. Do you not see that when I strike I must succeed?" "But these warnings to Umballa?" "He is not molesting me, is he?" returned Ramabai calmly. "Well, it is more than I could stand."
Our driver guided the car warily among the early peasants and the two-wheeled carts, slowly drawn by yoked, hump-shouldered bullocks, inclined to dispute the road with a honking interloper. "Sir, we would like to know more of the fasting saint." "Her name is Giri Bala," I informed my companions. "I first heard about her years ago from a scholarly gentleman, Sthiti Lal Nundy.
The winters are severe, but the summers are very temperate seldom going above 80 degrees. Kabul is fortified without and within; being separated into quarters by stone walls: the Bala Hissar, or citadel proper, being on the east, while the Persian quarter of the city is strongly protected on the southwest.
